Dood, I'm betting I get there before your Mom, so make sure you find all the good stuff--because I'm pretty sure there's all the Stinky Goodness a guy could want, and the BEST kitty crack--so you can show it to me when I get there. Oh, and gather up all our kitty friends who are already there for a wicked loud game of Thundering Herd of Elephants. We'll hear you down here, I'm sure of it.

You were definitely loved, dood, even by kitties and people who never met you fur to fur.

The Cat Blogosphere asked us to leave a link to our tributes to you so here is mine: http://thetigerlilypad2.blogspot.com/2009/04/oreo-rip.html. We are prrrrrrring and wagging our tails for you Mom Heather.

Oh that is a beautiful poem Momma Heather! Oreo knew he was loved from everyone who had ever known him!!Here is our Tribute for him! http://jcfloresinc.blogspot.com/2009/04/till-we-meet-again-oreo.htmlYour FL furiends,

There is never a good time to say good-bye to someone we love. A thousand years could go by...and...it's still never enough...never enough. I've held many a paw that had to leave me and with the passing a piece of my heart was torn and gone. Oreo, yes, knew he was love and he loved you. I truly believe with all my heart that if there is a Heaven, we will be met at the time of our death by all those we have loved and lost...animal, as well as human.

My deepest sorrow for your loss. I know the cold wind that blows through your soul.

"Lost love is still love... It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end. Love doesn't."

That is a lovely poem. Oreo, you were certainly very much loved, even by people who only knew you through your blog. I am going to miss you so much. My tribute to you is here: http://kittylimericks.blogspot.com/2009/04/farewell-oreo.html

Oh, this is such a beautiful poem. So many of us have endured the same heartbreak. Oreo, you are such a sweet dear kitty and I know you are happily waiting for your beloved Mommy. Bless you both. You are in my thoughts today.Gentle Hugs,Lorianna and her 4 kitties and her special girl in Heaven

Well, I am sure that my brother Caesar was there to welcome you to the bridge, and Yes, Jesus is there too. He will comfort you and your mom and dad too.This is the most wonderful poem, you were loved very much Oreo!Now you are resting and we are purring for your mom and dad becuase they are the ones that are hurting, we know that pain very well. They are not alone, we are here.Love and purrs always, Princess

I am so happy that you like my tribute and limerick, Oreo and Heather. I changed the last line of the limerick, because it was so awkward. I am really glad that my reminding you of the post you found so funny prompted you to read it again and laugh again.

Sounds like Orea had the best time on this planet. I am so sorry for the loss of such a beloved pet. I know you must be devastated as my poor cat Bob was diagnosed with lymphoma last week and it felt like the world crashed around me. We love them so much but the great thing is, that they know theya re loved as your poem says. I bought my cat home after the vets adn he was purring in his sleep. I may only be giving him some quality of time for whatever time he has left but I know he is happy. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oreo, you were one of the firstest blogs I read. You were so cool, I even had a little crush on you (before my sweetie, of course), and mama and I love your mama Heather so much. We know you are happy, and united with a lot of other cool kitties that we miss. But we are going to send hugs and hugs to your mama, cause of the hole in her heart where you were, and hope that hole fills up with all the memories you had together, and she will smile when she sees the rainbows you send her until she reunites with you at last.

I am so sorry for your loss! I am so shocked right now. I have been outta the blogosphere loop for so long now. I was over at Kintaro's site looking at their new kitten and saw her post for Oreo. RIP sweet Oreo. You will be missed.

I am so sorry that you lost your precious little Oreo. I so enjoyed coming by and reading his blog posts. I haven't been around here in a while and I came by today and saw the sad news. I hope that you can find some comfort knowing that he is at peace now. You were a wonderful cat mommy and gave him lots of love and a great life.

Oreo, you ARE loved, not only by your momma, but by people like me who don't blog, only read them. You brought me much joy. Fank you. I just know you're at the Rainbow Bridge. I have a couple kids up there ... Ollie, the longest, leanest cat I've ever seen. He loved me to pieces, hated my husband. My first born, Orphan, she's up there, she was 24 when she went over. She will take good care of you, she always did like the boys. And my Winnie, my black lab who was afraid of water and who loved the ducks in our backyard. He will watch over you and take very good care of you. He loved his kitties. Oreo, you brought much joy to a lot of people and we love you. Fanks for the memories. And to your Mom, what a beautiful poem to a wondrous kitty.

My mom & I have been checking you blog for a long, long time. We didn't see any updates and we got a new computer and our "favorites" didn't transfer over. Today my mom was on the old computer and saw this beautiful but very sad poem. We are sorry that Oreo has left for the Bridge. Your tribute to him was very heartfelt. Those it has been awhile now, we hope that you're ok.
